Something like pledge to buy 5 tickets for the season, maybe with free drink voucher thrown in. On that theme - can we sell any other commitment in advance - programmes, burgers, you name it...

i emailed the club about this last year as over Christmas the majority of people return from uni. i think there was 5 home games i could have attended before returning to uni.

I'd definitely be interested in something like this. Don't think i'd be home for 5 in a row but a good 3/4 then a couple more at least at Easter.

Perhaps people pay up front for 5 matches and are given 5 'vouchers', and then trade the vouchers in for 5 tickets whenever suits them? Gives people an opportunity to help the club out financially when they might not otherwise.

This should probably just be for the terrace though, because it might be an issue witholding the sale of seats for games INCASE someone wants to cash in a voucher.

It does but the problem with the above kind of schemes is that people will pick and choose matches that they will come to anyway which will lose us income with no net gain. If this scheme was to be tried it would have to be done with five games in the same period.

I know Derby County do a 5 ticket package where they split the games into different bands and offer the chance to choose 1 from band A, 2 from band B and 2 from band C.
Band A are the top games

Why the rolling eyes? I don't have to explain how I spend money

^^ No, but there was no need to give a flippant answer. If you don't want to answer, don't answer at all.

Oh so very sorry, I wasn't aware I had to run my responses past you before sending them. I apologise most (in)sincerely.
I guess the humour brigade have left the building
